Apple App Store hits 15 billion downloads

You guys have clearly been downloading the heck out of the App Store haven’t you? 15 billion downloads is no small figure, and the more amazing thing is that this figure has been hit a mere 3 years after the launch of the app store. We don’t even want to begin to think about how many per day that is, but one thing you can be sure of is that Angry Birds would have quite a lot to do with that this year. Still, there are about 425,000 apps available for your downloading pleasure today, and you can be sure that 15 bil number is increasing all the time. Not a bad time to be an App Developer either, with Apple paying dev’s around $2.5 billion US Dollars, which is a huge amount. A good time to be Apple too.
